Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392: Unleashing Power and Performance

With 450 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds and complete a quarter-mile drag in 13 seconds. These impressive numbers highlight the thrilling off-road capabilities of this heavy SUV.
